Hooker was persuaded to take away a copy of the " Essay " in January 1847, and eventually sent a page of notes giving Darwin much needed feedback.

The ship's officers persuaded him to withdraw his resignation and continue as planned once Darwin returned to the ship.

George Bentham was persuaded by Hooker to step down so that the Darwin and Wallace papers were first on the agenda, followed by six other papers on botanical and zoological topics.

In 1863, Darwin's illness worsened seriously, and Emma Darwin persuaded her husband to return to Malvern.

Though Darwin was an animal lover and had never carried out vivisection, he persuaded her that " Physiology can only progress by experiments on living animals ".

Darwin had to admit that Krause had revised his essay, and spent a week in February 1880 drafting responses, then was persuaded to ignore the dispute, writing to Huxley " I feel like a man condemned to be hung who has just got a reprieve ".

Hooker persuaded Darwin it was hopeless, noting that Wallace had " lost caste " over spiritualism and a £ 500 bet he had won by proving the world was a globe to a rich flat-earth fanatic who then started litigation which cost Wallace more than the bet had won.

Many feared another such slaughter, and a party from the Church Missionary Society travelled to Arnhem Land and persuaded Takiara and three other men, who were sons of a Yolngu elder, Wonggu, to return to Darwin with them for trial.

Darwin was delighted by the popularity of the book, and asked Gray to keep any profits.

Darwin struggled with the problem of evil of suffering in nature, but remained inclined to believe that nature depended upon " designed laws " and commended Asa Gray for pointing out that Darwin's work supported teleology.

He complained to the trustees of the museum but it was dismissed with several character references in favour of Gray including Charles Darwin.

In an 1860 letter to the American naturalist Asa Gray, Darwin wrote:

Gray and Charles Darwin met at Kew, introduced by Joseph Dalton Hooker.

Darwin then wrote to Gray requesting information about the distribution of various species of American flowers, which Gray provided, and which was helpful in providing information for the development of Darwin's theory.

Gray, Darwin and Hooker became lifelong friends and colleagues, and Gray and Hooker conducted research on Darwin ’ s behalf in 1877 on their Rocky Mountain expedition.

After Hooker returned to England and reported to Darwin on their adventure, Darwin wrote back to Gray: “ I have just ... heard prodigies of your strength & activity.

Since Darwin had nothing prepared, the reading included excerpts from his 1844 Essay and from a letter he had sent to Asa Gray in 1857, outlining his theory.

Darwin held Gray in high esteem: he dedicated his book Forms of Flowers ( 1877 ) to Gray and he wrote in 1881 " there is hardly any one in the world whose approbation I value more highly than I do yours " Gray, considered by Darwin to be his friend and " best advocate ", also attempted to convince Darwin in these letters that design was inherent in all forms of life, and to return to his faith.

Notwithstanding, Gray was a staunch supporter of Darwin in America, and collected together a number of his own writings to produce an influential book, Darwiniana.

In 1868 Gray had a year's leave of absence and visited Darwin in England – the first time they had met since they started their correspondence.

He is best known for independently proposing a theory of evolution due to natural selection that prompted Charles Darwin to publish his own theory.

He encouraged Darwin to publish, and following the 1859 publication of On the Origin of Species, Lyell finally offered a tepid endorsement of evolution in the tenth edition of Principles.

* 1858 – Charles Darwin receives a paper from Alfred Russel Wallace that includes nearly identical conclusions about evolution as Darwin's own, prompting Darwin to publish his theory.

Charles Lyell recognised the implications of Wallace's paper and its possible connection to Darwin's work, although Darwin did not, and in the spring of 1856 Lyell urged Darwin to publish his theory to establish priority.

Lyell discussed arrangements with publisher John Murray III, of the publishing house John Murray, who responded immediately to Darwin's letter of 31 March 1859 with an agreement to publish the book without even seeing the manuscript, and an offer to Darwin of of the profits.

Darwin had his basic theory of natural selection " by which to work " by December 1838, yet almost twenty years later, when Wallace's letter arrived on 18 June 1858, Darwin was still not ready to publish his theory.

Darwin did not publish his own views on this until 1871.

In a largely overlooked passage from his famous 1858 paper to the Linnean Society ( which led Darwin to publish On the Origin of Species ) Alfred Russel Wallace says of the evolutionary principle:

While Richard G. Colling, author of Random Designer and professor at Olivet Nazarene University, received criticism from elements within the denomination in 2007 for his book ( published in 2004 ), Darrel R. Falk of Point Loma Nazarene published a similar book in 2004, and Karl Giberson of Eastern Nazarene, the first Nazarene scholar to publish with Oxford University Press, has published four books since 1993 on the tensions between science and religion, including his most recently published Saving Darwin.

Darwin wrote " I would urge you not to publish it for some months, at the soonest, & then consider whether you think it new & important enough to counterbalance the evils ; remembering the cart-loads which have been published on this subject.

However, he spelt out the details of Natural Selection to Lyell, who found the idea hard to accept but urged Darwin to publish to establish priority.

Lyell's immediate response urged Darwin to publish his own ideas, and in his reply of 25 June Darwin agreed that he could point to his own Essay of 1844 which Hooker had read in 1847, and a letter to Asa Gray of 1857 showing that he was still developing the ideas, " so that I could most truly say and prove that I take nothing from Wallace.

At first they stayed in the King's Hotel, Shanklin, and on 30 July Darwin began writing an " abstract " of his book on Natural Selection, planning a short paper in response to Hooker's urging to publish a scientific paper in the Linnean journal.

She went on to publish a crushing reply to Greenough, and was shortly thereafter backed by none other than Charles Darwin, who had observed the same land rising during Chile ’ s earthquake in 1835, aboard the Beagle.

Schopenhauer also developed some ideas that can be found in the theory of evolution, before Darwin began to publish his work, for example the idea that all life strives to preserve itself and to engender new life, and that our mental faculties are merely tools to that end.

* Darwin Project, a project to publish all of the correspondence of Charles Darwin, including his correspondence with Murray.

While Lyell could not fully accept this, he urged Darwin to publish to establish priority.

Unusually, Murray agreed to publish the manuscript sight unseen, and to pay Darwin two-thirds of the net proceeds.

On 12 November Darwin visited his Wedgwood relatives at Maer Hall and they encouraged him to publish a book of his travels based on his diary, an idea his sisters picked up when he visited his home.

John Clements Wickham named the region " Port Darwin " in honour of their former shipmate Charles Darwin, who had sailed with them on the ship's previous voyage which had ended in October 1836.

The ship's captain, Commander John Clements Wickham, named the port after Charles Darwin, the British naturalist who had sailed with them both on the earlier second expedition of the Beagle.

The official Darwin Awards website run by Northcutt does its best to confirm all stories submitted, listing them as, " confirmed true by Darwin.

When Charles Darwin went to the Galapagos Islands, he was well aware of Lamarck's theories and was influenced by them.

Lyell's books had widespread influence, not least on the up and coming young geologist Charles Darwin who read them with enthusiasm during his voyage on the Beagle, and has been described as Lyell's first disciple.

, others are held at the Fitzwilliam Museum ( this is the copy sent by Wedgwood to Erasmus Darwin which his descendants loaned to the Museum in 1963 and later sold to them ); the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Department of Prehistory and Europe at the British Museum.

Influenced by the evolutionary writings of Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer, he arranged them typologically and ( within types ) chronologically.

The species are so distinct that when Charles Darwin collected them in the islands he thought they were completely different birds, and it was only when he was back in London in 1837 that the ornithologist John Gould revealed that they were closely allied, reinforcing Darwin's growing view that “ species are not immutable .” The adaptations of their numerous species, in three genera, show diverging evolution to exploit several ecological niches in the rugged and dry Galápagos Islands.

Before them, it is said that Charles Darwin and Charles Dickens also tried, and similarly failed.

The novel's plot followed the lives of FitzRoy, Darwin and others connected with the Beagle expeditions, following them between the years of 1828 and 1865.

Dewdney was not aware of the origin of Creeper and Reaper and refers to them as a rumor originating from the Darwin game and the worm experiments of Shoch and Hupp.

These early activities soon developed into importing beef and beef products into the UK, which in turn led to them owning cattle ranches in Brazil, Venezuela and Australia and their own meat processing factories in Argentina, Uruguay ( Frigorífico Anglo del Uruguay ), New Zealand and Australia ( in 1914 Vestey Brothers built a meat processing works at Bullocky Point, Darwin, Australia, but closed its operations in 1920 after the Darwin Rebellion ).

After a small fight with Guido, he helps X-Factor find out what happened to Darwin and his father, leading them to the Karma Project.

* In July 1973, Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army ( ZANLA ) cadres captured 292 pupils and staff from the school at St Albert's Mission between Centenary and Mount Darwin in Rhodesia ( now Zimbabwe ) and force-marched them north towards Mozambique, where the ZANLA bases were.

Moira's students — Vulcan ( Gabriel Summers, the lost brother of X-Men Cyclops and Havok ), Petra, Darwin, and Sway — were apparently all killed, and Xavier suppressed even the memory of them from his own students, to keep them from going back to save them.

Charles Darwin was familiar with the concept of vestigial structures, though the term for them did not yet exist.

In the first edition of On the Origin of Species, Darwin briefly mentioned inheritance of acquired characters under the heading " Effects of Use and Disuse ", expressing little doubt that use " strengthens and enlarges certain parts, and disuse diminishes them ; and that such modifications are inherited ".< ref > Darwin, 1859, pp. 134 – 139.

Darwin later considered the nearly perfect function of male nipples in contrast to greatly reduced structures such as the vesicula prostatica, speculating that both sexes may have nursed young in early mammalian ancestors, and subsequently mammals evolved to inactivate them in males at an early age.
